Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 281 Super High Cost
"Zhuyou, what you mean is that you want to use movie special effects to show some game plots in the future, but will this be too different from the gameplay of the game itself? Will it easily bring a sense of gap to the players?"

Listening to Take Yuxing explaining the entire process, Tsukino Aya also raised her own doubts.

Up to now, Zhu Yuxing has only unilaterally optimistic about this special effect field.

Most of the cutscenes added in the current game are still 2D animations similar to cartoons.

Such cartoons will be easier to integrate with the game itself.

If you impose a cutscene with good special effects, it will still feel somewhat inconsistent.

Zhu Yuxing smiled and said, "I'm not preparing for the current game, I'm preparing for the future game. By the way, you should have seen the final fantasy 7 plan I released on the company's internal network before, right?"

Tsukune Aya recalled and nodded: "I've seen it, you plan to use a full 3D engine to make this generation of games, do you plan to use special effects for this?"

"Yes, my idea is to use newer and more advanced technology in 3D games, and animations with better special effects are very necessary, and 2D games, of course, continue to use 2D animations."

Tsukino Aya nodded, she seemed to be able to roughly imagine what kind of state she was in.

The Final Fantasy 7 project published on the internal network is the work that Take Yusei has planned with the most content so far.

The number of participants is estimated to be as many as 300, and at least three game development teams are required to work together.

Then some repetitive tasks need to be outsourced to save time.

Then there are people in music production who need more than ten or more and so on...

In all aspects, Zhu Yuxing has pulled almost all conceivable configurations to the current limit.

Up to now, most of the games produced by the company have maintained a scale of less than [-] people. No one has ever thought about making a big game, and Zhu Yuxing is someone who plans to eat crabs again.

Tell those companies that want to make games and are still very rich.

You want a big production like a movie and make a lot of money?No problem, video games can also fulfill your desires, so please join us as we develop the field of video games.

In the development plan of Final Fantasy 7, the special effects team is also included. Zhu Yuxing's request is to dispatch all members, and the special effects team in the United States will assist in the production of Final Fantasy 7 with full firepower.

The development budget alone has prepared $[-] million, which is the entire development budget of the game, including publicity costs of course.

Now two development teams have entered the preparation work, waiting for other staff to join in one after another, and then the game development is on the right track.

In the past, all game development of Youxing Electronic Entertainment was considered to be small and broad.

Because Zhu Yuxing has a very foresighted mind, game development can save a lot of time and avoid a lot of detours. Zhu Yuxing knows how to do it the best, and will not encounter any major troubles.

And this time, it seems that I really want to get a big one, [-] million US dollars, which is almost one-fifth of the reserve funds of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment. All of them are invested in one game, which is very gambling. mentality.

10 million US dollars is more than the original cost of Final Fantasy 10 in the original world, and Zhu Yuxing's ambition is to make a game close to Final Fantasy [-] or higher, so that the world can really see the charm of the game .

To this end, Zhu Yuxing also deliberately raised the performance of the GS1 game console itself to a higher level.

It is estimated that the game console itself will not make any money this time, and it will not be able to earn twice as much as in the past, but as long as the game can make money all the time, it will be earned. The game console is only a carrier after all. The game can be sold more, but it also needs to be sold at a loss to a certain extent. The purpose is to expand the number of users and let more people spend money on games.

Tsukino Aya obviously still couldn't understand why Zhu Yuxing suddenly invested so much labor cost.

According to the current state of game development, it is still possible to continue to make games with small and broad, but from the perspective of players, it is definitely better to be able to play more enjoyable games.

"Okay, you can also help out during this time. The film and television company asked us to produce a 1-minute sample within three days to see how our results are. If the results are really good, they will use our technology. , to provide data for us to make game special effects in the future.”

Zhu Yuxing clapped his hands and asked the other employees to act as well.

Everyone immediately got into work, Tsukino Aya also temporarily suppressed the new idea in her mind, and followed Zhu Youxing to create a one-minute film and television special effect.

Three days later, in a temporary studio eight or nine kilometers away from Zhu Youxing's office, some film and television crew members were chatting idle.

They just finished a day of filming.

Xinghai Infinite is an ambitious work of their film and television company, and they want to enter the upper-level film and television circle through this series of films.

But the embarrassment is that there is not much money.

Fortunately, a new company suddenly appeared willing to help produce special effects at a lower price. They simply asked the other party to make a 1-minute trial clip to see the effect. .

The assistant director said, "What level of special effects do you think the new company will produce?"

The director shook his head: "I don't think it's very good. Now we all know that special effects are expensive. They are willing to do special effects at a very low price. How can it be better?"

"But I heard that it is a very famous game company, and they have guaranteed qualified special effects with the top management of the film and television company."

The director said helplessly: "Those high-level executives are not professional. They only think they can save money. This is a waste of time. I am actually worried whether they can make a one-minute special effect in three days. If they can't finish it , just enough to refuse their cooperation."

Just then, a crew member hurried over.

"Director, a car came outside. They claimed to be from Yuxing Special Effects Studio."

"Huh?" The director was taken aback.

As soon as he finished speaking, this person came?

The special effects were really made within three days. The efficiency is still good, but it is difficult to say whether it can be qualified or not.

"Let's go have a look."

The other party has already come, and the director naturally needs to greet them. This basic courtesy still needs to be done.
